3. Instructions as to his life in this world.
a. Relationship to law (necessary because of teaching of scribes).
4. Christian living in world in fellowship with Father.
5. Worldly things in their relation to believer.
II. OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IS FUNDAMENTAL MATTER.
A. It's not what man thinks of us, but what God thinks.

D. Christian knows he walks in presence of God and is going to meet God.
E. We are going through a judgment constantly preparing for final judgment.
III. "JUDGE NOT" PRINCIPLE AND ENLARGEMENT.
A. What does he mean?
1. Christian should never express opinion about others.
2. Except everyone who takes name Christian; time for unity against Communism.
B. Is this a possible interpretation?
1. It cannot be (context).
a. Vs. 6 "Give not that which is holy unto dogs."
1. How can you obey this without judging.
b. Vs. 15 "Beware of false prophets."
1. I must make assessment of teaching.
IV. WHAT DOES HE MEAN "JUDGE NOT?"
A. Concerning about condemning.
1. Pharisee "I thank thee I am not as other" judging and condemning.
